My alarm clock is a clock radio I bought int the 1980’s (it has a cassette player in it too). It’s on a dresser on the other side of the room. It has a snooze button, but by the time I get out of bed and walk across the room, it’s moot rather than mute.
I start work at three in the afternoon, so no need to set an alarm. However, some leaf turned over or a rabbit ran by or something early this morning and set the dog off. I woke to the wonderful sounds of barking. No snooze button would help that situation.

Looks to me like you invented the snooze button.

No. You’ve invented “No Refunds.”

Looks like he invented the snooze button. The concept needs a bit of refinement though.

Oh, how I hate to get up in the morning.
Oh, how I’d love to remain in bed.
But the hardest thing of all,
Is to hear the bugler’s call,
You gotta get up, you gotta get up,
You gotta get up this morning.

They have alarm clocks, a patent office, the wheel and yet Thor is sleeping on the ground with a rock as a pillow. Go figure.

Or the temporary alarm clock. Or planned obsolescence.

Looks like he invented the snooze button too, but it still needs a little work.

Some inventions take a while to get past the trials. Even if they are basically good.

This is possibly why he’s single, too.

I don’t need an alarm clock. My internal body clock wakes me at 5 AM every day and it drives my wife crazy on weekends… ;o)

If you’re the only one with a clock, you don’t need one.
